Mama Newey's Sweet Potatoes

We view Sweet Potatoes just like Hawaiian Haystacks... the more you throw in, the better. Here is what we traditionally put in.

2-3 Yams (not super huge... about the size of a large potato)
1/4 stick of Butter
Brown Sugar
Pecans
Apple (peeled, thinly sliced)
Mini Mallows

Bake Yams the night before (1 hour at 350°) until fork tender, place in fridge to chill overnight. Peel yams (skins should pull right off) and chop into chunks. Place in 9x13 inch pan. Place sprinkle pecans, apple and brown sugar over yams. Place small chunks of butter all over using the whole 1/4 stick of butter. Bake in oven for 20-30 minutes, pull out, cover with marshmallows and put under the broiler until golden brown.

** The rule is: NEVER, NEVER take your eyes off the oven until they are done!! Otherwise you'll burn the house down!**

Optional Add ins:
Pineapple
Coconut
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Whatever else sounds yummy!
